I am a Swiss real estate promoter and I constantly look for good reference material. this book is so easy to read and understand. I love the sample forms, which have been very useful on numerous occasions. Many of my customers have purchased this book from me, so as to learn more about the American/Floridian rite of purchase. It's a wonderful book, well illustrated, that teaches you everything you have to know in real estate.

Leigh Davis has been raised by her father, General Alexander Davis, to be the son he wanted but never had. When war between North and South looms, General Davis refuses the plea of his cousin - Jefferson Davis - to serve the Confederacy. Alexander Davis remains loyal to the Union and to President Lincoln, despite his family ties and despite his friendship with former West Point classmate Robert E. Lee (for whom Leigh is named). With General Davis off to the war, Leigh decides she must do something more as her contribution than staying at home and helping her mother run the family's Maryland farm. Dressed in her usual boyish garb, with her golden curls concealed by a cap, she begins taking fresh food supplies to a nearby Union Army camp. Impressed by her forceful personality, and believing that she's the son of General Davis - not his daughter - the men of that camp soon nickname her "General" Leigh.

Hiding near the camp Leigh visits so often is a Confederate Army spy, Grant Sinclair. The young officer watches the "boy" come and go, and one day he learns her secret. As the battles move closer, and even civilian lives are put in peril, love blossoms between Leigh and Grant. Is it a doomed love? Or one that can conquer anything, including a war whose opposite sides are led by generals bearing the same names as this unlikely pair?

I didn't know quite what to expect from a book described by its author as a Civil War romantic comedy. Well, that's exactly what it is, all right! It had me in stitches at times, but it also has some powerful passages as Leigh and Grant (and their young friend Jackson, another general's namesake) learn what war really costs. This warm, well-written tale has a lot of fun at history's expense, and its heroine is memorable indeed as she learns another great lesson: that those who truly love you accept you just the way you are.

Leigh Phillips and Jennifer Axen have done it again! Following their excellent instructional work on "The Stripper's Guide to Looking Great Naked", this book continues their success in giving women more enabling powers. I enjoy the instructional aspect of this book, but also the humor and practicality of it. I highly recommend this as a gift to all the women in your life! It's a great reference tool and what woman wouldn't want to know the finer points of chopping wood, changing a tire, or arm wrestling? Thanks again to the authors for enlightening women with humor and grace.

THE MAN IN BLACK ***** THE INTIMIDATOR
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2006-05-03
Dale Earnhardt was The Man. #3 was The Car. they were the team that made the fear run through their fellow racers. Bump drafting and marking another race car with a tire print was part of Dale's game plan.
This book takes the reader behind the scenes in the early life of Dale and how he became the man behind the wheel on race tracks to earn 7 rimes The NASCAR Championship. His love for the race, his fans and especially his family is threaded throughout the book.
Daytona 2001 was to be the big race to begin a new season. With Dale driving for Richard Childress the famous black Monte Carlo #3 and having two of his own cars driven by Michael Waltrip and his youngest son, Dale Jr. it was an exciting day that was to be celebrated. But the final lap held Dale's fate in it's hands. Blocking the drivers behind him, he was helping his own two cars push to the checkered flag. They made it across the finish line with Michael winning the race.
Dale's final race ended with his entrance not to Victory lane at the trace but one far higher by death which took him to the pearly gates.
Many fans share their stories of dealing with the news of Dale's death as well as fellow drivers, team owners and NASCAR ececutives.
The book is well written with several pictures that are wonderful.
If you are a race fan, you will want to read this and add it to your NASCAR collection.

Great Book for Troubled Times
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2007-08-31
This is the first review I've ever written, but I saw that this little book didn't have one. I was given Being Enough when I was going through a very difficult time in my life. At the time, I focused on being perfect, and I wasn't living up to my own expectations. I was asked by the giver of the book when was it important to just be enough. I couldn't answer her, but once she handed the book to me, I devoured it. For the first time, I became conscious of my perfectionism. It also gave me a sense of stillness and that my suffering had value.

I would recommend this peaceful creation to anyone who is feeling less than and needs something uplifting.

Quaker story for young and old
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2008-05-07
This is another from Indiana author Mabel Leigh Hunt that deals with Quaker life. This book takes place in North Carolina. Young Benjie spends time with his Grandmother and has to take the hand-me-down hat that has been reworked by his mother.

He ends up skipping out of the Friends meeting, uncalled for, and in that time a horse east most of the hat. He goes through additional hats before a solution is reached for hat care. Along the way is great fun reading of the antics and daily life of the young boy on a farm.

I'd recommend it to home-schoolers, classroom teachers, and parents. It is a good story showing the need for a child to learn to take care of things and be responsible.

Every M. L. Hunt book is good, but the Quaker stories (there are several) are special.
